EPISODE 12

Utata katika nyumba ya Fatima

The set design and panic come before the performance, just like the backstage and panic, props and panic, and panic is the fundamental thing because it gives you the strength to make the people in the audience, who are your friends because they came out of their homes just to see you, laugh.
